N Bit Adder and Corresponding Adding Method - An n bit adder includes first computing circuit with 2n inputs for receiving n values of bits of first and second binary numbers and an additional input for receiving an input carry digit. The first computing circuit elaborates from each of the n pairs of bit values of the same significance, a carry digit propagating signal and diagonal generation signals. The adder further including: an estimating circuit performing a first estimation of each coefficient of the number resulting from the sum of the first and second numbers, by using the complement of the corresponding bit of significance of the first number; a second computing circuit, elaborating a set of correcting signals based on the propagating signals and the diagonal generation signals; a correcting block applying to each estimated value of bit of significance k of the sum, k+1 corrections using the correcting signals, and delivering n bits of the sum.

N-BIT ADDER AND CORRESPONDING ADDITION METHOD - An adder is provided for adding input signals including first and second binary input numbers, with N bits each. The adder includes a determination circuit capable of determining the bits of the sum of the input signals. The determination circuit includes an estimating circuit including estimating blocks connected in series, each estimating block being capable of estimating each bit of the sum, and a correction circuit capable of generating a correction signal so as to correct each estimated bit of the sum after each estimate. Each correction signal of an estimated bit rank i of the sum is generated using the last rank i−1 estimated and corrected bit of the sum, the correction signal of said last rank i−1 bit, and the last estimated and corrected rank i−2 bit of the sum.

Digital content distribution system for delivering location specific content to an ad hoc group of mobile subscribers computer appendix - A digital content distribution system and method are disclosed for delivering location specific content to an ad hoc group of mobile subscribers. The system consists of a downloadable application that runs on the subscriber's mobile communication device and communicates with a server-based content composer system. The content composer system manages outgoing content based upon the geographic location reported by a mobile communication device application and the demographic and preference data stored in a subscriber database. Emergency alerts are sent only to subscribers in a area covered by the alert. The emergency alerts are executed on the mobile communication device even though the mobile communication device is in a low power sleep or hibernate mode. Moreover, the emergency alerts take over the mobile communications device no matter what other tasks are being executed when the emergency alert is received.

KNOCK DETECTION DEVICE FOR A COBUSTION ENGINE AND A METHOD FOR A COMBUSTION KNOCK DETECTION - In the field of knock detection in a combustion engine, a method and a device detects and controls the knock by adapting the gain of an amplifier which amplifies the knock sensor signal. The gain of the amplifier is adapted based on analysis of a set of samples from the knock sensor so that the amplification of the knock sensor signal across the entire measuring window is optimum and the complete ADC evaluation range can be utilized better.

ROTARY BROOM WITH VACUUM DUST CONTROL - A vacuum assembly module mountable to a work machine attachment for providing dust-reducing capabilities is provided. The vacuum assembly module is a self-supported unit and can be mountable to work machine attachments such as rotary brooms, cold planers, and the like to retrofit the attachment with dust-reducing capabilities. The vacuum assembly module includes a central frame that provides an air flow passage. The central frame supports a filter and a fan within the air flow passage. A fan motor operably drives the fan to draw air through the air flow passage and filter. The fan motor is operably connected to an auxiliary power source, such as a work machine. An optional vibrator may be included for operably shaking and dislodging debris from the filter. The vacuum assembly module may be attached to a debris collecting bin to form a vacuum having a hose.
